1 Hour Later
Teaching students how to read and calculate time is an essential skill that helps them navigate everyday life. To support your teaching efforts, we are excited to introduce our free worksheet called "1 Hour Later." This engaging resource is specifically designed for year 3 and year 4 students who are learning to read and calculate time on both analogue and digital clocks.
What Is the "1 Hour Later" Worksheet?
The "1 Hour Later" worksheet provides a hands-on approach to learning how to measure and calculate time. With this resource, students practice reading times to the minute and understanding the relationship between analogue and digital clocks. This fun and interactive worksheet helps reinforce students' skills, making it easier for them to manage time in real-life scenarios.
How to Complete the "1 Hour Later" Worksheet
The worksheet consists of three pages, each containing nine clock activities that require students to fill in or draw clock hands. Here's a breakdown of what students will do:
-
Reading Analogue to Digital Time: Students start by looking at the given time on an analogue clock. They need to identify what the current time is and then calculate what the time will be exactly one hour later. They write the answer in the digital clock format, reinforcing their ability to convert between the two formats.
-
Drawing Analogue Clock Hands: The next task involves looking at the time displayed on a digital clock. Students then draw the appropriate hour and minute hands on an analogue clock to match the time shown. This helps them understand how the positions of clock hands correspond to digital time.
-
Practicing Reading Times to the Minute: The worksheet includes times that students need to read precisely to the minute, such as 3:24 or 5:47, challenging them to pay attention to detail and accurately depict time.

Tips for Using the "1 Hour Later" Worksheet in the Classroom
To make the most out of this worksheet, consider these tips for classroom use:
-
Pair Students for Collaborative Learning: Encourage students to work in pairs to compare answers, discuss time calculations, and help each other understand how to draw the correct clock hands.
-
Use Real Clocks for Demonstration: If possible, use real analogue clocks or interactive digital tools to demonstrate how to calculate one hour later. This visual representation can help students who are struggling with the concept.
-
Time-Telling Challenges: Turn the activity into a fun challenge by setting a timer and seeing which student or group can accurately complete the most clocks within a set time. This adds a fun, competitive element to the learning process.
-
Extension Activities: For students who grasp the concept quickly, extend the activity by asking them to calculate other time intervals, such as 30 minutes earlier or 2 hours later. This provides additional practice and reinforces time-telling skills.
